| Optics: Milo bathing in the blood of innocent journalists? |
Troubled Alt-Lite figure Milo Yiannopoulos has recently been sending violent and threatening messages to innocent journalists, expressing a wish to see them gunned down in a pool of blood and shattered bone.
Meanwhile in as yet unrelated news, five people have just been shot to death in an attack on a newspaper office in Annapolis, Maryland.
“I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight,” Milo wrote in a text message to one journalist who recently contacted him, later explaining that it was his standard response to any request for comment from the press.
As reported by CBS, the shooting occurred at the offices of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis:
Senior law enforcement officials confirmed with CBS News that the suspect is a white man in his 20s and didn’t have identification on him. He is also reportedly refusing to identify himself to authorities. CBS News is also reporting that the suspect was armed with a shotgun.
According to police, first shots were reported at 2:40 p.m. after the shooter entered the building, which houses the Capital Gazette and several other businesses.
The building was immediately evacuated when police arrived on scene, and officers searched the building to secure the scene. Police have since secured the building and are transitioning it into a crime scene.
Authorities say they were on the scene between 60 and 90 seconds after receiving the report.
Anne Arundel County Police Department spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure says they don’t believe this to be a “mass casualty” incident, but won’t give further details on numbers until the scene has been secured..
It seems highly unlikely that Milo or his followers would have any connection with this shooting. But, whenever something like this happens, the Fake News Media always tries to connect it to someone in the Dissident Right -- hence the Sam Hyde meme -- so it was obviously stupid of Milo to make such comments. Especially when he is seeking to revive his flagging career by staging a takeover of a normie political part in the UK, namely UKIP, along with other members of the Alt-Lite, including Paul Joseph Watson, Sargon of Akkad, and Count Dankula.
